Re: Manager and Cashier

Not one of my workplaces but someone entered a cheque deposit amount for a client into the accounting software. They missed off the first digit of the amount. Therefore £100k became £00k plus some pence and no one immediately spotted it. When they did the Sh!t hit the fan and an investigation was launched. On further inspection the “1” key was found to have an intermittent fault on that keyboard. Employee was partially* cleared but keyboard taken out back and shot. *partially because they should have double checked the amount.
